he just sat and sat and sat at the table and refused to eat until it reached his bedtime.

Ah, my technique to avoid the dreaded creamed corn and the appalling spinach. My poor mother.

My heating is magic. I'm not sure where it comes from.

Now things just get weirder. I sent the guy an application and a link to a National Assoc of Cooperative Housing so he'd now what he was getting into. Now he's responsded by saying that he doesn't think he'd be a good fit for our co-op because of something he read at the link because he's heavily in debt from student loans and they won't even accept monthly payments from him now. I have no idea what he saw, except that we ask for income information.

What does that mean? They've already made the payment to Vinnie to go break the guy's kneecaps?

(With apologies to Vinnie....)

He says that they're demanding repayment of the whole thing, which makes it sound like it's gone to collections.

yeah, so probably not someone who is going to be a great prospect for moving into a mortgage situation.

Love the Jesse v. bon bon Liz-Lemmon-off! Actually got to see 30 Rock last night since GA was a rerun. That show is really freakin' funny.

Watched the pilot for Black Donnellys, too, while working from home. That was entertaining enough, for half-watching.

We're actually like renters. Noone gains equity in these kind of housing co-ops, so no mortgage involved.

related to BaBB, my new get rich quick scheme is to hand out cards with the some of the following:

I've determined you need socialization adjustment. It is a mandatory upgrade to your behavior scheme and it is a difficult process. It is going to cost you $100/hour and you must hire me to do it.

You need subway etiquette training immediately. It is required for you to continue using public transportation any where in New York City. My fee is $50/hr (people on the train, c'mon) and I am the only person qualified to provide this service.

You are a jackhole. While for many this is a irreversable trait, for others it is treatable and it is required by law that all jackholes must attempt to reform. As the only certified jackholologist, you must hire me at a cost of $100/hr to take you through jackholeversity, the critically acclaimed and only approved de-jackholeification program in the world.

Did you ever notice how msbelle is like the Cultural Revolution in China?
